I stopped off at Dunkin Donuts for an iced coffee this morning. There's a Carter's store a few doors down. I did the biggest double-take when I passed their window display.
This morning I had a mashup of MIA's "Paper Planes" and Wreckx-n-Effect's "Rump Shaker" stuck in my head. Why? Because I started reading that book "Paper Towns" so that naturally reminded me of "Paper Planes"...the "Rump Shaker" addition is a mystery.
The Shaun the Sheep movie opens in theaters tonight. I am somewhat sad I won't be there for opening night.
But, not so sad - I won't be able to go because I'll be packing for the Chicago Yarn Crawl! Yay! (and, I can probably drag the buddy that is joining me on the crawl to the movie more easily than I can drag DH)
edited because Sean =/= Shaun. I keep misspelling the sheep's name!
I started the Couch to 5k running program yesterday. It felt great! I love running, but I just suck at sticking with it. I think this is my 5th attempt at C25k? Hopefully I will make it to the end this time!
uh....mbcdefg am I the only dense one who can't see what's wrong with the sign?
I texted it to MH and he didn't see it either.
Look at the "count me in" sign.
The yellow "O" is a lot harder to see the further back you get from the window. I drove around the parking lot like a crazy lady for a few minutes, taking pics in various spots. Luckily it was early in the day and nobody was around and the store wasn't open yet.
There's a car dealer near us. They had am unfortunate font choice for the name Clint. The L and the I definitely formed a U. My coworker called to tell and they were all, "huh?what? the and L and the I? Pause..... Oh. Oh dear."

The Shop Rite in my hometown has individual letters that light up.
It made my day a few years ago to drive by and see that the O, P, R, and E had burned out.
I put money on this being a prank by an employee. That doesn't make it any less hilarious.
I am going to go pick out a bonsai tree for DH for our anniversary. He had mentioned wanting one of a long time ago (when we were dating), and it fits in with the 5 year traditional gift (wood).
I hope he likes it. I've been struggling with what to get him
Withdrawing Jr from school today and trying to get some work done. I need to go shopping to get some snacks for the party tomorrow. Right now I just have pizza and cake, need to get some drinks and other munchies.

It's really happening!!!!!
Part of me can't believe it is actually happening. Part of me is panicking that he will melt down at some point during the day. Right now he is all smiles but tomorrow is another story.

Update: A very kind gentleman help me at the bonsai society. He talked my ear off for about an hour about all the different kinds of trees, the people who purchase them, their histories, their personalities etc. He was so passionate about sharing his calling to the world of bonsai. It was awesome.
Has anyone else started thinking about plans and gifts for the holidays? In the last week I purchased my first Christmas gift and started discussing travel plans with my family and Dh's parents. It seems like we just had Christmas, but I guess it really isn't that far off.

Boyfriend and I are making Thanksgiving plans to visit his family in Mass. I have already picked out some gifts and added them to my Amazon wish list so I can easily find them again, but I have to survive four birthdays in September before I start buying for the Holidays.

lol
Our families all live within an hour-ish of us, so we don't have to book plane travel or anything like that. We usually decide the week beforehand what we'll be doing.
Gifts? Psht. No. I still haven't gotten around to wrapping MH's birthday gifts for tomorrow, lol.
Someone stole 2 chairs from my coworkers office. They were $500 each. My poor coworker had to sit in a crappy chair all day today. Hopefully someone will return them.

Yup. And it's already holiday planning time with several of my clients as well.
I'm not sure what my plans are. I think I'm headed home for Turkey Day because I miss my grandma & extended family.
As for Xmas still planning on France... Option B is Disneyland again.
